What are some extinct biomes that don't exist anymore due to changing weather and atmosphere and plantlife and stuff? I know about Mammoth Steppes which turned into Borreal forests once the Mammoths and other megafauna died out, but what else?
>>5107252Uh, we don't get much of this anymore
>>5107252I think the carboniferous forests were pretty cool. Lots of weird treeferns and ferntrees, and big bugs to boot.
>>5107252I am so sick of this stupid fucking meme. Mammoth steppe still exists literally within walking distance of where mammoths used to live in northern North America and in Siberia. Not only that but Mammoths did not only live in mammoth steppe. They were also not the only species of mammoth or megafauna that got wiped out. This is a completely fake made up talking point to try to shift blame away from humans for wiping out these animals. I am so beyond fucking tired of the anti-scientific propaganda bullshit that has completely overflowed all fields of science in the modern day. Academia needs to be burned to the ground. We need to start over after killing all the communists and capitalists.
>>5107347>Mammoth steppe still exists literally within walking distance of where mammoths used to live in northern North America and in Siberia.Where in North America? I'm aware of the pockets in the Altai Mountains, but I've never heard of any relict mammoth steppe in North America.
>>5107483Northwestern North America: Yukon, Alaska. But you're focusing on the wrong thing. Remember woolly mammoths did not only live in mammoth steppe. They lived in basically any habitat that was cold enough and had enough food for them. They lived in taiga, tundra, and even cold temperate grasslands and savannahs. And again, they didn't die because of a lack of one habitat. It is a known fact that the last woolly mammoths were killed by humans on Wrangel Island. And most animals that died during the pleistocene extinctions were temperate, subtropical or tropical animals like the Columbian Mammoth which didn't live in the far north and certainly didn't rely on mammoth steppe. Climate change can't explain their disappearances at all.
